Located in Melbourne's theater district, Punch Lane Wine Bar (and Restaurant) is a veteran of sorts after 13 years on the scene.
The food leans towards Mediterranean fare.
It's a good place to meet friends for some cheese and wine, olives, some chorizo maybe.
Take a quick glance at the blackboard on the wall listing the by the glass selection which changes regularly. If you are in a celebratory mood or just want to keep it light, there are always a few sparkling wines ready for the taking.
Punch Line is opened from 12 Noon to Midnight (Monday through Friday) and 5 PM to Midnight (Saturday and Sunday)…
You can have Dinner or Lunch if you wish.
Maria had dinner for her Punch Lane Review (September 09) in The Gourmet Challenge.
Her site is inspired by a Australian Gourmet Traveler magazine…not a bad thing to aim for.
I borrowed her snapshot of Punch Lane's famed red chairs.
